Federal prosecutors reveal that Ryan Routh, the suspect in a plot to assassinate former President Donald Trump, attempted to obtain military-grade weapons, including a rocket launcher, from a contact in Ukraine. Court documents indicate Routh expressed his intent to acquire these arms, stating, “I need equipment so that Trump cannot get elected,” emphasizing the premeditated nature of his assassination plan. Routh allegedly camped near Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach with a rifle, preparing for an attack on September 15, 2024. Before the Secret Service intervened, he had conducted extensive reconnaissance, even messaging for smuggling assistance to evade…
Tungsten Super Shot, better known as TSS, is the most lethal shot type a turkey hunter can employ to pursue a tom this spring. It has a density of 18 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cc) and is far harder than soft shot types, like lead or bismuth. TSS patterns are also tighter and more dense than lead or non-toxic offerings. Often marketed as a long-range killer, it can anchor a turkey at extended distances, so many hunters are willing to shell out $10 per round.TSS can indeed be lethal past 40, 50, and even 60 yards if choked properly. But…

I finally got my first rifle, a Savage Model 24 .22/.410 over-under combination gun, in 1962. We lived in the city, but my dad used to take me to my Uncle Walt’s farm, and I would follow my uncle as he hunted rabbits. He showed me how to hunt and clean the rabbits, and my aunt would cook them. Well, I begged my dad until I finally got that gun for Christmas—it was a beauty. That weekend, at my uncle’s farm, I went out with the dog and, sure enough, he brought that rabbit right around back to me. The…

Consistency is the key to accuracy in handloading. Continuous gentle vibration of the column of powder inside the measure reservoir eliminates air pockets and improves powder flow even with difficult-to-meter flake powders, and settles the powder in the metering chamber, resulting in more consistent charge weights. It also virtually eliminates powder bridging and clumping inside the reservoir that can cause light charges. Available in two models engineered for the Hornady AP Press, Dillon and Frankford Arsenal powder measures. Installation of the vibratory collar is simple but requires some disassembly of the measure. The intensity of the vibration is controlled with…
For generations, gun owners have delighted in the warm glow that is produced by a drop of gun oil rubbed into the stock of their favorite firearm. A little oil will do wonders to even out the finish and deepen the color of a tired-looking hardwood stock. But, as good as it looks, these results are fleeting—as the oil dries or is absorbed by the wood, the stock eventually returns to its former “tired” state. But there is a way to permanently bring your stock back to life—and it doesn’t require refinishing. This trick requires only two ingredients, both of…
